Engineering – fundamental enablers for space missions

To achieve affordable, routine in-orbit space research, professional in-house space engineering expertise has been assembled in addition to the postdoctoral talent targeted for the science.

UNSW Canberra current academic staff experience in space science and engineering sums collectively to several decades, and includes direct involvement in and (in some cases) leadership of significant planetary, orbital and sub-orbital flight missions such as Rosetta, BepiColumbo, HyCAUSE and SCRAMSPACE. Dedicated space engineering flight and space research postdoc teams now support the research, reporting to and supervised by UNSW Canberra's space-related academic staff.
